Teaching is carried out by three specialist staff and is supported by a dedicated technician. Every year a significant number of students go on to study Physics, Engineering and other related courses to undergraduate level at University and we have had a number of successful Oxbridge entrants in recent years. Teaching takes place in two specialist Physics laboratories with a dedicated Physics preparation room. These are fully equipped with equipment to enable our students of all ages to carry out practical work to support their learning. Each laboratory has up to date ICT facilities including a data projector and a number of laptops that can be used for data logging and research-based exercises. We offer a range of extra-curricular activities including a junior Astronomy club and in recent years students have participated in the Physics challenge in Year 11 and the Physics Olympiad in the Sixth Form. |
